London Homesick Blues

(albüm: Cheap Silver And Solid Country Gold - 2019)

Well when you're down on your luck
And you ain't got a buck
In London you're a goner
Even London Bridge
Has fallen down
And moved to Arizona
Now I know why

And I'll substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sand
And you can put up your dukes
Or you can bet your boots
But I'm leaving just as fast as I can

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen

Well it's cold over here
And I swear
I wish they'd turn the heat on
And where in the world
Is that English girl
I promised I would meet on the third floor?

And of the whole damn lot
The only friend I've got
Is the smoke and a cheap guitar
And my mind keeps roaming
My heart keeps longing
To be home in Texas bar

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen

Well I decided that
I'd get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a Texas fancies
He'll take his chances
Chances will be taken, that's for sure

And them Limey eyes
They were eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear
And they say "You're from down south
"When you open your mouth
"You always seem to put your foot there"

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
I wanna go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
